CHURCH CAMP
On the Bus
Woke up super excited at 0630 in the morning with my family and got ready to go to church to take the coach to
Palace of the Golden horses. WE went to greenridge to have our breakfast then walked across the road to wait for the Coach...MAny of the other WEBs were there too...We waited for about an hour before all the buses arrived and we can finally leave...I was sitting with Grace in bus 6. Jan, Yi Ren, Mark Cheong, Matt and his family were also on our bus...I was talking to Grace until we all dropped of for lunch at 'yong Peng' and ate super alot. The Food was..."delicious" haha! Christopher was so cute! haha...Really funny, yet weird things happend at our table...Sitting with all the youths...One of the guys(I shall not mention his name...haha) was "serving" the Galz food...haha...He was taking a super duper long time to just put some fried rice into the bowl until one of the girls decided to do it herself instead..haha...(No offence bro) We all ate and talked and joked and laughed...i asked "one of the guys" to help me scoop some noodles cause he was the nearest to it. He scoop until my bowl all got sause around it...And the funniest thing was grace asked him to help as well...and he dropped her bowl into the plate of noodles...haha!(no offence again) We continued our journey after the lunch break and everyone was sleeping accept the driver, Matt and myself...Grace was slightly sleeping, slightly awake...Matt was sitting on the oppositte side of me awake...When the rest of the bus was also asleep...I asked him some questions about some of the things said at the Hillsongs concert on saturday...He explained to me using the bible to give me a clearer understanding about what Ps Prince Meant...Then i found myself listening to a very good sermon...for about 30 min to 1 hour...Just talking and talking... Later on i went behind with Jan and Mark to play with Christopher when i came back to my seat...Yi Ren was talking to Matt...So i sat next to Rebecca and Christopher and listened...Later we realized we talked for 5 hours...Longest yet most fulfilling sermon i ever had...haha...I gotta go..tell u guys more about the camp another time! Bye!

Okie! I'm back! People like carolyn dieing to have something to read...:p Well, not like my blog so interesting like that. Or maybe to some it is...? Hee...I have not been updating cause i was packed with so many things to do everyday, school, CCA (softball), church...haha! Well, on the 26 May, I totally regretted going for the police carrer day thing. Cause it was awfully BORING...I was like, "OH boy, wat have i gotten myself into when i could be slacking at home...Resting, or doing something much more productive like reading the Bible or smt". At least most of my friends regretted too. Sigh, What a waste of precious time! The next day was more Productive at least it wasn't a waste of time going to church to help out...? Muahahaha...Matt talked to me and Jan about the YPM Mushy thingy...After church was also so fun! Went with a group of jokers, Jason, Galvin, Mark, Kelvin, Mun Tat, Henry, Lin Yi, and a few others watch "DAy After Tomorrow"! Super cool show! I Love it. It's so real...One of my favourite shows! Haha! Highly recommanded by me! 5*...:P (If you trust my rating with shows la...Don't come after me if you don't like it...Not my fault, cause u got poor taste with show la, haha) On monday, I went for push up. It was definately very
different from the ones we had throughout the year...(Matt gave something Like a miniature sermon) It made me realize that reading the Bible wasn't as "boring" as
i thought. I always told myself that i will read at least 5 chapters or more a day and finish reading the bible in a year or more. But i didn't make it. Did that for 2 days and gave up and started reading as and when i like to and after months, or even a year of no disipline, i only finished 11 books of the bible and 8 of them are the super short ones :P haha. To be honest, I have stopped reading for a really long time, i really don't have the disipline to sit down and read. Cause it does seem really really wordy. Hee... I never ever read the bible like how Matt explained, go deep into it and study it. During his esplanation, I realized how important it is to read when i really wanna rise up and get out of my comfort zone or be a WEBBER. I thought to myself "How am i going to lead without knowing the word of God well?" And it wouldn't be good to give others wrong information about the bible. So i had to know the bible well too... That monday, i figured that reading the bible is interesting and fun too...Is as good as God talking to us...I then told myself that i will read the bible daily...Read at least a little a day. During the prayer/worship time, when I prayed, i felt really different. I used to be really afraid of praying in groups or even out loud. Cause i really don't know what to pray. But i knew that we should let the holy spirit intercede for us. I just didn't know what to pray. On monday, i just prayed like never before. i wasn't as afraid to pray in the group though i was slightly nervous still, I wasn't scared. But only affraid i pry the wrong thing or something. And when i prayed out loud, everything just came out and i knew i wasn't the one praying. I knew it was truely the Spirit. Praise God! During the worship time, i was really touched...It was the first time i cried for my lost friends. I always knew i had to have the passion for the lost. And i prayed for it too...But that night, i finally felt the real push and urge, passion to bring them to Christ. I told myself I would invite them to come for Reflector sunday, encourage them to come. But i won't force... Maybe the last time i was SLIGHTLY pushy. MAYBE. I'll do my part and let God speak to their hearts. I won't invite them by own strength but God's strength. Later on, I closed my eyes during worship and i don't know why i saw the entire front portion of the church main sanctuary Packed with People young and "not so young". I knew that it was the alter-call. And I wanna see that happen on REFLECTOR sunday! Praise God! God bless you all...See you tomorrow at church camp...Bye
